Open Heart, Open Home: How to Find Joy Through… por Karen Burton Mains
Excellent! Surprised me in that the part about opening our homes didn't come in until more than halfway through the book. Deals far more with our hearts than with the practical aspects of having people in, but isn't that appropriate? Because hospitality should be heart motivated, and unless we start there, having people in will just be going through the motions. I highly recommend to all members of the body of Christ old enough to read and understand the concepts presented here.
The book I have selected for this month's book
review has been around for quite a while. And it
deserves to have a long life. Engagingly written,
it covers a topic not often seen in Christian
books, that of the gift and practice of
hospitality. It is not a book about entertaining.
It is not even a book about having people in your
home for a meal, although that is part of the
author's discussion. The author takes a much
broader look at hospitality. She is really
talking about a lifestyle of hospitality, or put
another way, a lifestyle of welcoming. She talks
about developing an openness in our homes and
hearts that welcomes people in. Even more, she
talks about an openness of heart that enables us
to be available to those in need of a homey
atmosphere, a meal, an ear, a place of respite.
Hospitality is not just about having company, it
is about developing community; it is a starting
place for ministering to others. Within the
church, it is a way to build authentic community
and body life. In other arenas, it can be an open
door to a seeking heart. It can be a place where
a wounded heart finds comfort. While not everyone
has the gift of hospitality, everyone can learn
and grow in being a welcoming person. And
everyone can find a small way to practice
hospitality. I highly recommend this book.

Getting your heart and mind ready for worship. Preparation is the key if we are to restore Sunday to the kind of day God intends for it to be. Proper Saturday evening preparation readies one for the magnificent privilege of experiencing Christ's presence each Sunday morning.
the church is unaware that the role of women has undergone a revolution to which it does not relate.
